Lyrics

Original Version

Japanese

ネオンサインが光る　街なかで　あの人は
影を残して消えていったの　突然に

さよなら　愛してた　あのときに　気づいた
思い出は　夢のなかで　忘れたころに目覚めるの

好きだよって　見つめあって　抱き寄せて
キスをしてくれた

なにげない　そぶりでも　わたしには
わかっていた

つらくない　過去なんて　あるわけが
ないと知ってた

もう一度　もう少し　あなたの背
見送っていたいだけよ

Romaji

NEON SIGN ga hikaru machinaka de ano hito wa
kage wo nokoshite kiete itta no totsuzen ni

sayounara aishiteta
ano toki ni kizuita
omoide wa yume no naka de
wasureta koro ni mezameru no

"suki da yo" tte mitsume atte daki yosete
KISS wo shite kureta
nanigenai soburi demo
watashi ni wa wakatteita

tsurakunai kako nante
aru wake ga nai to shitteta
mou ichido mousukoshi anata no se
miokutteitai dake yo

english Version

Neon sings were shining bright
And in the street lights you turned your back
I saw your shadow was fading away
Well, I lost you, all of a sudden

Good-by, my love, I love you so
Before you went away, I didn't know
Memories awake only in my dream
When I think I lost them, they all come back to me

You said that you love me
Look at me softly
You kissed me and held me all night so tight

I know what your feeling
I know what your dreaming
All that you feel and everything in your mind
The memories are so clear
So many good years the sweet ones I hold dear

Can't hold back the tears
I need you by my side
These feelings I can't hide
So don't walk away boy
Baby wasn't you bring back
your LUV TO ME

Song Production Information

beatmania 3rdMIX

♪Neon signs were shining bright and in the street lights, you turned your back♪ Ahh, good old euro. Remember the bubble era? A lot of people will probably be grinning at the usual 80s euro tropes: a quick intro riff, soft snares, and siren noises, among others. The trick to clearing this song is to keep up with the fast rhythms. For practicing these, take a page from Takahashi Meijin and train yourself with * Soldier. Lastly, don't forget to have some tight-fitting clothes and fluffy Juliana folding fans for the people in the crowd.
